Welcome, baseline and responsible use

Why it matters

Set the purpose, confirm the approved tools and establish the safe-use boundary.

What we will do

Complete a two-minute Microsoft Forms pulse survey and share the tasks you want AI to improve.

What you leave with

A clear starting point and a shared understanding of what responsible use looks like.

120 minutes exactly, including 20 minutes for questions and practical discussion.

Live product labs

Learn with the tools Cater Care already approves

Current Google product demonstrations show the experience we will teach. Exact features depend on Cater Care licensing and settings.

Draft, refine and challenge

Gemini for Google Workspace

Use a clear brief to move from a blank page to a useful first draft, then iterate with judgement.

  • Structure prompts with context, task, format and constraints
  • Draft discovery questions, proposals and follow-ups
  • Improve tone, clarity and audience fit

Use synthetic, public or expressly approved information during the workshop. Important outputs still require human checking.
